    I'm sure the Russian Empire was a fantastical paradise where everyone was immortal until Lenin invented death

      Some of them are slightly more educated on the topic and try to uphold fucking Kerensky as this democratic reformer who got overthrown by the Bolshies.

        That Kerensky? The Russian Keir Starmer whose most significant achievement was whining and moaning about the Bolseviks for 53 years afterwards and dying alone in the 70s because Americans thought he was an evil commie bastard?

          The Trudoviks and Right-SRs getting fucked over by both sides of the political spectrum is some lovely Schadenfreude.

          Also, "Russian Keir Starmer" is on point since he worked for a conservative think tank for the remainder of his life.
